36-inch bar clamp for heavy-duty woodworking

The Bessey IBEAM36 bar clamp delivers a 36 in. jaw opening and 2 in. throat depth for industrial or institutional woodworking projects. A cast iron handle and nickel-plated steel bar provide secure clamping force across wide workpieces. Smooth pads protect surfaces during assembly or glue-ups. This clamp suits joinery tasks that demand maximum reach and rigidity.

Clamping reach limited by bar length and throat

The 36 in. capacity sets the maximum workpiece width, while the 2 in. throat depth restricts how far the clamp can reach from the edge. Nickel-plated steel bar dimensions of 1-1/2 x 15/32 in. define the rail stiffness under load. Cast iron handle torque is the only adjustment mechanism; no quick-release or fine-thread features are present. Projects exceeding these dimensions require a different clamping strategy.

36 in. jaw opening decides fit for the job

The single specification that determines suitability is the 36 in. jaw opening. If the workpiece exceeds this width, the clamp cannot close; if the project fits within it, the 2 in. throat and nominal rail size govern depth and rigidity. No other dimension overrides this limit. Buyers needing greater opening or deeper reach must select another clamp.

Questions about this item

Which jaw opening should I choose for large woodworking assemblies?

The IBEAM36 provides a 36 in. jaw opening, suitable for wide panels and large glue-ups.

What does the 36 in. jaw opening mean when the clamp is on my bench?

You can span workpieces up to 36 in. wide while the 2 in. throat depth reaches 2 in. from the bar edge.

How does the 1-1/2 x 15/32 in. rail size affect clamping force?

The nominal rail dimensions give a rigid I-beam profile that resists flex under heavy tightening.
